“Spooky, scary skeletons
Send shivers down your spine
Shrieking skulls will shock your soul
Seal your doom tonight!”
If you just can't stop humming to this forever classic by Andrew Gold, there's good news – It's Halloween season! Yes, the month of October is here and it has more than one reason to be in a festive mood. Besides bringing the true essence of the fall season, it also marks that time of the year when we wait for that magical, mystical night, full of pumpkins and white ghosts, and owls and all kinds of night creatures.
Even though Halloween is the festival of spirits, there is hardly anything horrifying about it. On the contrary, it’s a festival of joy and happiness when people get to dance under the moon and kids get to trick-or-treat dressed in their favorite characters.
Being one of the most popular festivals across several countries, it goes without saying that Halloween preparations include feasts and delicacies of all sorts – turkeys, pies, pumpkin spice lattes, caramel candies, desserts, and many more!
And of course, like most of the festivals, cakes are the show stoppers in Halloween feasts too, especially Halloween themed cakes.
Not only do these Halloween cakes keep the spirit of the festival high but are also a great medium to make your Halloween party memorable among your guests. So how can you decorate your cake with Halloween-themed designs?
Among many ways, using wafer paper to decorate the cakes is always one of the best Halloween decoration ideas. These papers are easy to use on almost all kinds of cakes and can be printed with all kinds of favorite Halloween creatures and objects such as pumpkins, Frankenstein’s Monster, skeletons, bats, and witches.
Besides printing on the wafer sheets, you can also cut it in different shapes or use edible colors to make design manual decorations. Also, you can use wafer papers to decorate cookies and cupcakes.
Let’s take a look at some of the easiest yet fun DIY wafer paper decorations for Halloween desserts.
Printing Halloween Characters on Desserts
The most basic way to decorate your Halloween cakes, cupcakes, and cookies is by applying printed wafer sheets to them. You can print on the wafer paper by selecting your favorite character and printing through an edible printing compatible printer. The wafer paper sets on the cake surface quite well so that the decoration appears to be striking and eye-catching.
Cutting Wafer Paper in Various Shapes
Be it a pumpkin, a bat, the Count Dracula, or Sabrina the Teenage Witch, decorating your dessert with wafer-paper cutouts is always fun, especially for children. Cutting the wafer paper is really easy. All you need is a pair of scissors and it should suffice. You can either use a stencil to draw the shape first or can just use your artistic skills out of your imagination.
Using Edible Ink/Paint on Wafer Paper
While the wafer cutouts will give a 3D effect to your cake decoration, coloring the cutouts will add more depth to the decoration. All you need to do is to paint on the edible wafer sheets just like you would color on ordinary paper using brushes. Now that would be a Halloween cake that people are going to remember up until next year at least for sure!
